Rap Treats #11: Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill (Original Version)

This is the first version of the classic Beastie Boys album Licensed To Ill. There are 2 extra songs, although "Scenario" sounds like doo doo which makes me think it was just added on. However, "I'm Down" sounds like it was supposed to be on the album. It also sounds like it was a good idea they cut it from the album originally (the song is cool, but not that cool). Some songs have slightly different lyrics, different ending, or different adlibs. Also, as you can see by the photo, Gene Simmons was the forth member of the Beastie Boys back then.
